Find out Site Template ID without powershell

Question

Is it possible to find out the ID of a custom site template without using powershell? Using Sharepoint 2010 project in office 365 and I do not have access to the server.

Found a blog post claimining you should be able to find the template ID in by simply viewing source on a site created with that template, however I checked out the source of a teamsite and a blank site and didn't find any occurances of the string 'siteTemplateId' at all http://brulan.wordpress.com/2010/08/27/question-how-do-i-find-out-the-template-id-for-an-existing-sharepoint-site/

Any other way?

Answer 1

It should work with right-click and view source.

Here is from a random team site I just tested on:

var g_wsaSiteTemplateId = 'STS#1';

Answer 2

The SiteTemplateId shown above is the SiteTemplateId of the OOTB template used to create the site, this does not work for sites created via Custom templates. If you view the SiteTemplateId in the Custom template, you would still see the SiteTemplateId if the OOTB template not the Custom template.
